as a new member i have been very concerned that while my posting is checked i am holding up thread for all.does this happen?
No, other people's posts will appear until yours is approved.
No, you don't hold up the thread for everyone else. Your contribution doesn't appear as such until after it has been modded, a process which can take hours. Until then your posting is just marked in the thread with a formulaic little message to the effect that this contribution is in a queue for moderation and will appear on the message board in due course (provided content is deemed acceptable).
You will find that by the time your words of wisdom appear the discussion has well and truly moved on. It's frustrating, but everyone has had to go through this process - it weeds out the faint-hearted, I suppose.
Many people devise ways around the problem - I seem to remember a thread specifically designed to enable newbies to ratchet up their postings to the requisite minimum ASAP, but can't remember where it was or how to find it! Once you have achieved about twenty non-contentious posts you will find that suddenly you are out of moderation - a real rite of passage!

I suspect you mean the Snorks for Newbies threads, douglas. Try following this link:-

Hate to tell you this but it's relatively recently that the running in period has been operating, ditto the 3-min posting constraint - since the last soccer world cup. I say this not to make you envious but in the hope that one day The Powers That Be will realise the futilty of these advance punishments and take them away again.
wow!thx!dr, didnt understand much of that but thx anyway!how many times do i have to send before im ok
We could tell you, but then we would have to kill you.
Not long, just keep going.
Welcome.
